Bernie Sanders Blasts “America’s Sheriff”…. He Just Went Too Far

The independent Vermont senator and self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders was recently in Arizona to court the leftist and illegal immigrant vote as part of his campaign for the Democrat Party’s presidential nomination.

During an event on Thursday near Flagstaff, Sanders utilized the opportunity to take a swipe at two very prominent politicians in the state, Gov. Doug Ducey and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, according to KTVK.

Speaking about his wife Jane’s unannounced visit to Sheriff Joe’s tent city prison, in which she was met and led on a tour by the man who runs it himself, Sanders declared, “My wife visited Tent City and he crashed that. He came and ambushed her.”

“Looking at this Tent City and what my wife told me about what she saw … This is not what what should be going on in the United States of America,” Sanders fretted, criticizing the Department of Justice for not doing more to shut down Sheriff Joe, apparently oblivious to the numerous harassing actions the Obama administration has taken against the popular sheriff over the years.

Sheriff Joe is not concerned with the threats or insults hurled his way by Bernie Sanders, as he has been dealing with the same schtick for the past eight years from President Barack Obama. He will continue to uphold and enforce the law and run his jail as he sees fit, regardless of what some socialist politician from the opposite end of the country thinks about it.
